The Old Theater in Oriental is presenting Murder in the Manor, a comic murder mystery performed by the North Carolina History Theater of New Bern. This play was written by Bill Hand, Director of the North Carolina History Theater. In five acts, performers reveal themselves in unique and laughable ways as possible culprits in the murder of a small-town publishing magnate. There are plot twists and fun interaction with actors coming into the audience during intermission to answer questions from the audience. After the fourth act, the audience completes a "whodunit" form and the person with the best guess wins a prize at the end of the play.
